Default Brake Fluid Leak

I have a 2001 GS430, now with 12,000 miles and have had to add brake fluid 6 times. I have had the dealer check it twice and they can find no leaks. They called California and that was no help. The brake pads are fine and I have not driven the car hard at all. I have never added brake fluid to a car in my life. Now I must keep a can in the trunk. Does anyone have any ideas or have a similar problem? Thanks for your thoughts.

I'd give the dealer a piece of my mind. Tell 'em to fix it, give you a loaner, and that you don't want it back until it's fixed.

I would tell them to change all the brake fluid lines, fi that doesnt help then change the whole brake setup your car is still under warrenty, use it to its full potential while it lasts trust me or else youll regret it. Make sure you have the problem fixed before it gets worse!!!!
